[AGENT++] Thread safety (new SNMP session in each thread)

Hi,

there is no problem with this fucntion, but I would recommend to share
the Snmp object between the threads or at least only create it once for
each thread and reuse it. With your code, a new UDP port is opened (and
closed) for each request.

This is a very old discussion and it is no longer valid. You can now
share a Snmp object between several threads to send requests.
